It is Friday morning here and I'm blogging from my hotel room. I am having some serious jet lag. I think the fact that I could not sleep on the 9.5 flight from DFW to Madrid did the trick. Normally I sleep, but I just tried everything and could not sleep.
The flight was fine, but going without sleep for me is really hard with the time difference.
We landed in Spain. My flight was 1.5 hours leaving and was then late leaving Dallas and I missed my flight to Porto. They gave me a travel food lunch voucher and told me the only flight would be 6.5 hours later.
This is what I got with my voucher. I stayed in the ARC restaurant for a couple hours to kill some time. Then I walked the airport. Thankfully, I ran into Tiffani (another teacher going to the event) and her daughter. We all waited for the next flight. It ended up being 1.5 late leaving. It was a LONG day at the Madrid airport.
Thankfully we arrived at the hotel. The event is at the Holiday Inn. This hotel is so nice.
The hotel lobby is so nicely designed. I was so thankful to be here. All I could think about was a shower and resting a bit.
This is my hotel room.
I must say that showers are a very good thing...
After a quick rest, we went to dinner last night. This is downtown Porto. Oh how I love this beautiful place.
This is where we had dinner last night. I love the food here. I had the most amazing pasta (I'm not even a pasta girl).
This is the outside of the building me ate at. I simply love the details in the tile work and wood.
I loved the gold and blue table and restaurant decor.
The restaurant had all this beautiful gold chandeliers. Oh soooo pretty!
We are sightseeing today and setting up for the event. Looking forward to a great day!!!!!!!
